Here is what we think is the only comprehensive record of pubs and beerhouses within the Coventry city boundaries going back as far as available records allow. This is an ongoing project so contributions, corrections or additions to this archive, especially anecdotes, photos and media are most welcome. Feel free to contact us for a pint and a chat anytime.

Beerhouse

In the 1861 census ther are no matching records for Samuel Smith. In 1871 he is 41 and a licensed victualler at the Horse and Jockey, Hawkesbury Lane, Sowe, however these records do not tally with those of the Horse and Jockey.
